There is no contradiction between what was mentioned at the beginning of the and its end. At the beginning of the fatwa, we clarified that sound effects recorded on a computer and manipulated to resemble musical sounds are considered music, and listening to them is prohibited. At the end of the fatwa, we mentioned that the melodies found in the chants of the aforementioned Sheikh may differ in whether they are considered prohibited or not. Therefore, it is preferable to avoid them as they fall under the category of doubtful matters, although we cannot definitively declare them unlawful.
